Fitting the dip plate
Prerequisites: The drip tray and the park plate are fitted. The dip plate is not yet fitted.
► Click on the Fit dip plate button.
(1) The LDU moves the squeegee back over the
park plate and moves the lift axis up.
► (2) Fit the dip plate in the orientation
shown.
Fitting the flux tank
Prerequisites: The park plate and the dip plate are fitted.
► Click on the Fit flux tank button.
(1) The LDU moves the lift axis down.
(2) The LDU moves the squeegee to the front.
► (3) Place the flux tank onto the dip plate
and push it under the downholder to the
fixed stop.

Moving the flux tank to the park position
Prerequisites: The park plate and the dip plate are fitted.
► Click on the Move flux tank to park posi-
tion button.
(1) The LDU moves the lift axis to the zero posi-
tion while the downholder locks the flux tank.
(2) The LDU moves the squeegee back over the
park plate.
► (3) Ensure that the four pins of the flux
tank engage correctly in the retaining
clamp of the downholder.
4.6 Performing a height measurement
To ensure that the components can be dipped into the medium over the entire dipping area, it is
important that the dipping area is not tilted. You therefore need to align the LDU parallel to the
gantry or to the placement head of the placement machine. The LDU has two adjustment screws
for this purpose. The correct position of the cavity can be checked with the help of the measure-
ment run in the station software.
The measurement run sets the dip plate parallel to the gantry. It does NOT determine the level of
the dip plate compared to the ground. It is therefore important that the machine in which the LDU is
used is standing absolutely level. If the machine is not level and the dip plate is aligned parallel to
the gantry, the dip plate will then not be level in relation to the ground.
Height measurement procedure
The placement head moves over the first measuring point in the cavity of the dip plate. After this,
the Z-axis moves slowly downwards until the nozzle springs into place and the Z-axis sensor re-
ports that the nozzle is now down on the dip plate. The Z-axis then moves up again. The system
calculates the absolute height of the first measuring point.
The gantry now moves to the second measuring point. The Z-axis performs height measurement
again and now determines the relative height difference to the first measuring point. If the measure-
ment for the second measuring point is positive, measuring point 2 is higher than measuring point
1. If it is negative, this means that it is lower. If the relative measurement is zero, this means that
both measuring points are at the same height. The same procedure is applied to the third measur-
ing point.

Definitions
●
Measuring point 1: reference point.
●
Absolute height [µm]: the measured height of the respective measuring point.
●
Relative height [µm]: the deviation of the absolute height of measuring point 2 or 3 to the ab-
solute height of the reference point. This value is always 0 for the reference point.
Preconditions
► The placement machine must be exactly level to the ground.
► The cavity of the dip plate must be free of flux.
► There must be a nozzle on the placement head.
Performing a height measurement
► In the station software, select the Setup
view(1) and then the Locations area (2).
► Select the Table (3) on which the LDU is
set up.
► Select the icon of the LDU(1).
► Click on the Settings... button (2).
► Select the Planarity tab(1).
► Click on the Check planarity button(2).
The machine will perform the measurement and
then show the values determined in the table
(3).
► Read the values.
●
The relative values for measuring points 2 and 3 are lower than +/- 50 μm: the LDU is set
correctly.
●
The relative values for measuring points 2 and 3 are greater than +/- 50 μm:
► Perform the following steps until the relative values for measuring points 2 and 3 are lower
than +/-50µm:
► Align the LDU (see 4.7 "Aligning" [}46]).
► Repeat the height measurement.
